Default RE: Help for a NEW CT Bowhunter

ORIGINAL: arcticap

Do you know how to field dress a deer?
Once you refresh yourself with what you need to do from your course handbook, you'll quickly develop theability to do it when needed as long as you are prepared.
Having rubber gloves along with you in the field, along with somecloth ragsand some plastic bagstostore them in afterward helps.
And buy acheap deer harness to help you drag outa deer, and a sharp hunting knife at least 4 to 5 inches long.
And don't forget to bring string or wirefor attaching your tag to the deer.

If you run into any trouble or need more help,just click on my name and contactme.
I don't. I came by way of Massachusetts and, at least when I took their bowhunter education class, field-dressing a deer wasn't part of the program.

You are right, though, about starting with the local libraries. I'll also check out that video you recommended, as well as local gun shops/clubs.

Thanks for the tips.
